What is Reflexology Lymphatic Drainage?
Most people have heard of the lymphatic system, but aren't always sure what it does. The lymphatic system is an important part of your immune system. It helps remove excess fluid, waste products and cellular debris from the body's tissues while supporting healthy immune function.
Unlike the circulatory system, the lymphatic system doesn't have a pump like the heart. Instead, lymph moves through the body using muscle movement, breathing and normal body function.
Reflexology Lymphatic Drainage (RLD) uses gentle stimulation of specific reflex points on the feet. The treatment is designed to encourage the body's natural lymphatic flow and may help reduce swelling, improve comfort and support overall wellbeing.
